Why this method for this business
The justified P/B and residual income models are most appropriate for a bank with a weak moat and low ROE, as they focus on book value and cost of equity rather than earnings power or growth.
The models behind the number
Each method is weighted by how well its inputs held up for this company.

Who computed this
A language model (qwen3:8b) selects the valuation method and the judgement inputs for YES BANK LIMITED: which models suit the business, the moat, the growth and margin assumptions. It does not produce the number. The fair value itself is computed in Python by a deterministic engine (version 2026.08.1) from those inputs, so the same inputs always give the same result and every figure above can be traced to a source.

How we value stocks
We estimate what a business is worth from its own economics: cash flows, returns on capital, and a multiple justified by its quality, rather than from where the share price has been. A fair value estimate is a view, not a verdict, and it is only as good as the inputs listed above.
